Adobe Officers’ Quarters

These duplex officers' quarters, built of adobe brick, were completed in 1887 when Fort Robinson became a cavalry regimental headquarters. The furnishings represent those of a typical Fort Robinson officer's home. A Post Commander's wife, Mrs. James Biddle, wrote that the quarters had running water, the first she had seen during her Army life, and that the social life was comparable to that of a large city such as Boston or Washington.
